Thanks for video, was deciding between WPL and WD40 Silicone. Although I saw that regular silicone spray should work, I am not 100% sure of other ingredients in the silicone sprays, even though WD40 silicone says it will work with rubber and plastic. I rather use stuff formulated specifically for it, without damaging internals parts. My fork is a coil fork, but I want longevity from the bike. Thanks for details about application and flipping the bike over. I see other people recommend it too. So just reassured for me.
I think the biggest takeaway from this is to REMEMBER to really wipe off the oil from the fork and shock. Otherwise your just asking for dirt and grit to come right back.
Thanks man! Haha yeah I'm behind on video. Check out my last update! I did a VLOG explaining why I haven't been able to get the camera out. Hopefully soon though!
As a mechanic myself, that's spot on, nailed it on all the important topics and even the vital tips at the end, nice! I like how you wiped off your suspension even though your bike was dirty, clean suspension is more impartant than tho whole bike being clean, that should speak out to some people that are scared to touch their bikes!
The Fork Boost is meant to clean out the seals under the top lip. Like I said in the video, clean the stanchions of the product to make sure no dirt sticks to it. I promise you that I've had nothing but positive feedback from customers with this stuff. I would not encourage use of a product that's going to harm anything.
@@TheLostCo I'm right there with you on that! Yes it Pulls the dirt right out of the seals, DOES NOT put dirt down in the fork. Love when people pretend they know what they're talking about! Keep it up
It's all good! Everybody has their preferred ways of everything, and I just like to share the ways I like to do things. I'm sure theres videos of people doing "how to make toast" and there will be some people criticizing their way of making toast haha. Different strokes for different folks!
@@PedroFernandes-bg6ms yes.. I am a professional Mechanic, suspension and wheels are my main specialty. Bring it on down to Showroom Services, right here in CA. Safe riding ✌️
Thank for your being clear and concise. I asked a self proclaimed pro DH mechanic what type to use and he told me go to my LBS instead of sharing what type of product.
I always spray a tiny bit of teflon based lub on the stanchions to clean them, work pretty well and after it helps seals to wipe the stanchions from dust or mud during the ride. Putting the bike at reverse will let air bubbles in the brake circuit go to the calipers. Which means that you will have to bleed more often (calipers are also more difficult to bleed than levers !). It is better to just put/hang the bike at the vertical and it will work fine
Nothing particular. A regular spray bottle from Decathlon. I just spray it on a rag that I use to clean stanchions of fork and dropper post when I clean my bike. Then I compress fork/dropper post and remove the remaining dust moved by the seal during compression. Note that I do not lubricate the stanchion with it. It is only what remains that helps seals to wipe stanchions. I say that because stanchions are not supposed to be lubricated. Excess of lubricant can do worse than better. By gluing dust and mud on parts. In fact today I kind of give up this because I am more lazy than before :) And I did not really saw a difference when servicing my fork or dropper.
This is hands down the best MTB tech channel on the internet! Real life information for real-life mountain bikers. Will definitely make sure to stop by next time I am in Bellingham.
Hi, That's exactly what I have been doing for years. And never had problem with my suspensions. I would also recommend oiling the commands or remote lock mechanism as they tend to collect dirt and become stiff
Great help - that and the one on the steerer tube cut down. Won't turning your bike upside down allow air to enter your hydraulic brakes, requiring a bleed?
Thanks, Mike, for introducing me to this WPL ForkBoost Lube. Truly great stuff (from multiple aspects - bio-based/env-friendly & quality/performance), and I'm completely sold. Though initially skeptical, now I use it religiously, almost as often as lubing my chain regularly for every ride. This stuff is really great, most noticeably on dropper post (then on fork, then on shock), in terms of feeling butterly-smooth. While at it, I also picked up WPL suspension oil (20wt) - also great stuff. Thanks!
@@theocalderon8264 It's not a degreaser and it is designed for forks and shocks, but is not limited to. Muc-Off's description for Silicon Shine spray: "Silicon Shine not only leaves your bike looking factory fresh, but it also acts as an amazing friction reducer for suspension parts and reduces dirt adhesion. Spray it onto your fork stanchions and rear shocks to reduce resistance for a silky smooth, World Cup performance." You can take a look at Muc-Off's site for their Silicon Shine spray. muc-off.com/collections/bicycle-step-2-protect/products/silicon-shine
As a former aircraft engineer I would say this is the basics, keep any Stanchion clean always and lube them with something appropriate, the liquid used inside the Forks should do it as well
Eventually you will be better than 99 percent of shops work if you keep watching and learning, you can take your time and do a perfect job , not a friday arvo job.
You forgot to mention to protect the disc and brake caliper against possible lubrication :) Actually good advice, it helps a lot, but it is worth using dedicated oil, not brunox spray or, even worse, wd40
Petroleum based oils will cause the rubber to swell and break them down faster leading to them needing to be replaced more often. That being said any weight suspension oil whats cheaper then chain lube anyways will do the same trick if you really need your seals to last an extra week and a half
I was told that the best thing to lube your stanchions with was fork oil. Anything else will seep through the seal and contaminate the oil in your fork.
Thank you so much for telling us about the shocks I just got me an electric hey bike and I'm going to take care of it well I am following you now thank you for the support and teaching us I love my bike and I will take care of it thank you again for teaching us Merry Christmas 🍵
Well done my friend,i am new to mtb,gone straight to the point and bought enduro bike,that tricks save us money as we all known that MTB is expensive sport! THANK YOU!
Got myself a old handrail , with a basic st shutout coil front forks, the bike i cleaned up changed bottom bracket and freewheeling act but the forks were stiff, so I used your method with light oil and it worked a treat, until I order new forks , thanks for the tip, I Will look out for more of your tips, and projects .
SWEET MAN! Thanks for the order! I just ran out of Fork Boost the other day but I've got a fresh shipment coming in within the next few days. Your order will ship out as soon as the new order comes through the door!! 👍👍👍
Man, thanks. I have been MTBing for years, and never considered the bio lube and subsequent wipe down to collect all that dirt. Great idea and I will do it tomorrow. Also, the upside down fork thing - brilliant. Great stuff, and my first visit to your site. Liked and Sub'd.
I just purchased the lube off of your website. Really appreciate how quick you delivered it . I’ve used it once and it seems to be pretty good. I really liked the handwritten “thank you” as well along with the cool free sticker! Wish it was the skull sticker though, lol. Guess I’ll have to order more stuff. Thanks!
Just bought a new Yeti ARC C2 couple days ago after only riding gravel/BMX for a while. The ARC I have came stock with a Fox 34 and a Fox dropper post. I know maintaining your bike is super important so I was searching for some videos on how to keep them nice and smooth when I came across this one. I sincerely appreciate how simply you explained everything and the lack of "elitist" vibes I got from you. Thank you for what you do; you've got another subscriber from me.
Simple man is what I am....i see WPL and I click. Love their lubricants and will continue to use them. You can also use forkboost to cut down grease if you don't want the grease too thick. I do this with my pro4 hub.
So true! I do it for approx 10 years now. Even with regular chain oil. Important to dry and to do not keep it wet. Then à fork maintenance each 3 year will be sufficient ;)
That’s really good lube I would’ve never known about it had not a friend turned me onto it a few years back and I had to do it couple weeks ago because my forks were sticky so now I probably need to apply a little bit more often WPL !
Just curious about keeping your bike upside down. I've been told that's not recommended for bikes with disc brakes because that will cause air bubbles (even the smallest in your hydraulic brake lines), to travel towards the brakes causing a spongy feeling brake. Any thoughts about this?
i have tried this and yes the brake feels a little spongy when you first flip it the right way up but just pulling the leaver a couple times makes it good as new
@@ertai222 It shouldn't. I left upside-down a bike with hydraulic brakes, and I noticed that the brakes worked normally again after I pumped the levers a few times.
Finish line is good, I used it in Bulgaria, but I can't find here it in UK. The cheapest option is from Spain £7 + £7 postage which is...not very acceptable for me
Great info....many thanks!!!! I turn my MTB upside down each week and also clean the fork/shock/dropper after each ride. Can I use "Liquid Wrench" silicon spray on all those as a lube (vice the WPL)? Keep up the great work on your channel!! Most helpful!
I always thought turning the bike upside down was a no no .Now I understand that doing it makes the oil run onto the fork great. Is there anything else you could use instead of the fork boost lube
Very informative channel! Nobody really doing content focused on the maintenance/technical side of mountain biking. Keep up the great work I am going to order WPL from your site very cool product!

Been using Fork Boost for a while - I honestly wouldn't bother. Yes it pulls out dirt, but because it's so thick and leave a residue which doesn't lubricate for smoothness and the stanchions don't stay clean very well.

what can i use instead of forkboost?
If you are in auss do you need to store your bike upside down?
Yeah, but for the opposite reason
No, it's already upside down. 😋
Gravity sux
No the earth's rotation will do the work.
Of cause we don’t were upside down gravity does the work it is AMAZING
I think the biggest takeaway from this is to REMEMBER to really wipe off the oil from the fork and shock. Otherwise your just asking for dirt and grit to come right back.
I’ll never ask dirt over again!

Pink bike Friday fails too
I picked up a sample bottle of this at the Southern Enduro tour. I'm looking forward to checking it out.
I used old oil from frying my french fries!
Yummy men you just blu it
Better than nothing
Ive used a local fork oil and it attracts so much dirt. Me and my mates used a cheap cooking oil and it works well, attracts less dirt
Well shit...
I used precum
Great help - that and the one on the steerer tube cut down. Won't turning your bike upside down allow air to enter your hydraulic brakes, requiring a bleed?

Add more lube bro
Zoom here
